instant per app themes (without the work, well in theory.) running
from different/multiple desktops to allow a dev environment and its
associated differences to be used, possibly in conjunction with a
regular desktop.

I have already experimented with multiple desktops, it is possible,
but I did not test the practical side of it, yet... different AES
would make it even more visually distinctive..

It is also a test worth doing, particularly if, as you say, "If you
can solve the TRAP-problem, and the physical workstation problem"

It may be useful later on for VNC and remote desktop "assistance" and
VDI/AES streaming over TCP/IP (or UDP), as one "AES/desktop" can
remain untouched.. It could solve the problem of multiple user logons
with different AES and desktop settings (for systems that can handle
it and use it). It would be a good "proof of concept" test at least,
even if it were not immediately practical.
